Top 5 Surveys & Feedback Calls for Insurance Agencies

Discover the 5 best survey and feedback calls for insurance agencies. Learn how AI calls boost retention and capture honest policyholder insights. Read more!

Back to Listicles

Insurance agencies live and die by retention, and retention depends on knowing what policyholders actually think. Email surveys get ignored. SMS gets a one-word answer if you're lucky. A well-run feedback call, though, catches a client right after a claim, a renewal, or a service interaction, while the experience is still fresh, and it produces the kind of detailed, honest answers a form never will. The catch is that running those calls well takes structure: a clean script, a permissioned list, compliance handling under TCPA rules, and outcome reporting your team can actually use. That's a lot to ask of an agency that's already juggling renewals and claims support. We compared five services that handle survey and feedback calling for insurance agencies in 2026, looking at how each collects feedback, what they report back, how they handle compliance, and what they cost. Some are full call centers with live agents. One, our top pick, runs managed AI calling campaigns with strict list discipline and flat, transparent pricing. Here's how they stack up.

#1 My AI Call Center — Calling starts at 9¢ per connected minute, tiered by volume, plus a quoted one-time setup fee and flat monthly management fee. First campaign review is free.

My AI Call Center takes the top spot because it treats feedback calls as a managed campaign with one clear goal, not a software subscription you have to figure out yourself. You buy campaigns that the team runs for you: they scope the survey around a single outcome, quote the entire campaign before it launches, and only call approved, permissioned, or reviewed lists. If your list source or consent records won't support the campaign, they tell you plainly before you spend anything. That list discipline matters a lot in insurance, where contact rules are tight and regulators are watching. Compliance is built into the process rather than bolted on. AI-generated voices are treated as artificial voices under the TCPA, with prior express consent required, state-specific quiet hours honored, and an AI disclosure on every call so recipients can ask if the call is AI-assisted, request a human, or opt out. Keyword opt-outs like STOP and REVOKE are honored immediately, and DNC requests carry across all campaigns into your DNC records. Nothing launches until you approve the script, disclosure, and escalation path. The reporting is where it separates itself from typical vendors. You get a named outcome report with disposition codes (confirmed, opted out, no answer), per-call notes, and follow-up requests routed back into the CRM and scheduling tools you already run. No invented numbers, no inflated metrics. Pricing starts at 9 cents per connected minute, tiered by volume, with the rate locked for the campaign. Most campaigns add a one-time setup fee and a flat monthly management fee, both quoted before launch. No per-seat charges, no platform bill, and the first campaign review is free.

Pros

  • Whole-campaign pricing known before you approve launch, with no mid-campaign rate changes
  • Strong compliance posture: consent review, quiet hours, AI disclosure, DNC handling
  • Actionable reporting with disposition codes and follow-ups routed into your CRM
  • No per-seat charges, no platform bill, no minimums you didn't choose

Cons

  • It's a managed service, so you're buying campaigns rather than self-serve software
  • Best suited to structured, goal-specific campaigns rather than always-on inbound support
  • Clients are responsible for obtaining their own legal guidance before launch

Best for: Insurance agencies and multi-location organizations that want structured, compliant feedback calls on permissioned lists without hiring agents or buying calling software.

#2 TeleDirect — Contact for pricing

TeleDirect is a full-service call center that runs outbound survey and feedback campaigns with trained live agents, which is a genuine advantage when you want policyholders to feel heard. According to their website, their agents are professional, highly trained, and skilled at active listening, and live agents can detect tone and adapt to a customer in ways automated calls can't. For insurance agencies dealing with sensitive claim or coverage conversations, that human touch counts for something. Their "Quick & Easy Feedback" system sends a survey notification as soon as a transaction completes, capturing responses while the interaction is still fresh. They support multiple channels: phone surveys with live agents, automated SMS surveys, email surveys, and in-app surveys, and they'll design a custom mix for your agency. On the security side, TeleDirect states that its survey tools meet ISO standards and satisfy current HIPAA requirements, and that its tools are compatible with platforms used in healthcare and insurance industries. They also cite a healthcare client case where outbound surveys identified onboarding friction and contributed to a 5% retention improvement. The tradeoff is that you're engaging a large traditional call center. That usually means a consultative sales process and custom pricing rather than a published rate card, and live-agent survey programs cost more per contact than automated approaches. If you want high-touch human survey calls and multi-channel feedback collection, TeleDirect is a solid, established choice.

Pros

  • Professional live agents who can detect tone and adapt mid-conversation
  • Immediate post-interaction survey delivery improves response accuracy
  • Strong security credentials including HIPAA requirements
  • Multi-channel flexibility across phone, SMS, email, and in-app

Cons

  • No published pricing; expect a custom quote process
  • Live-agent survey calls cost more per contact than automated alternatives
  • Larger vendor, so less agility for small, one-off campaigns

Best for: Insurance agencies that want human agents conducting feedback calls and a multi-channel survey program.

#3 SalesRoads — Projects start at $10,000+ per The Manifest listing

SalesRoads is a sales outsourcing firm based in Boca Raton, Florida, with additional locations in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, founded in 2007. On The Manifest's October 2026 ranking of survey and call center companies, it holds a 4.9 rating across 69 reviews, with reviewers scoring timeliness at 4.9 and service excellence at 4.8. While its core business is B2B appointment setting and outbound calling, it offers call center services that can support structured outbound campaigns, including feedback and research-style calling for clients that already have relationships with the contacts being dialed. Reviewers on The Manifest consistently praise the agency's professionalism and process discipline, and its long track record (nearly two decades) gives it depth in script development and campaign management that newer vendors lack. For an insurance agency that wants a partner to design and execute a calling program, whether that's post-renewal feedback or win-back outreach alongside surveys, SalesRoads has the operational machinery to run it. The caveats: SalesRoads is primarily a sales outsourcing company, not a survey specialist, so feedback calling is a secondary use case rather than a flagship service. Project minimums start at $10,000 according to its Manifest listing, which puts it out of reach for smaller agencies running a single feedback campaign. And because it's a human-agent outbound shop, per-contact costs will run higher than automated options.

Pros

  • Nearly 20 years of outbound calling experience
  • Strong review scores for timeliness and service excellence
  • Multi-state delivery team with established processes

Cons

  • Primarily a sales outsourcing firm; surveys are a secondary use case
  • $10,000+ project minimum is steep for small agencies
  • Human-agent model means higher per-contact costs

Best for: Agencies and B2B firms with larger budgets that want an experienced outbound calling partner for combined sales and feedback campaigns.

#4 ExpertCallers — Projects start at $1,000+ per The Manifest listing

ExpertCallers is a call center company established in 2002, headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey, with delivery teams in Bengaluru, India; Rickmansworth, England; and Davao City, Philippines. It holds a 4.8 rating across 35 reviews on The Manifest's October 2026 survey companies list, with a 4.8 for timeliness and 4.7 for service excellence. Its service range is broad: call center services, account-based marketing, AI agents, and conversion optimization, which makes it a flexible option if your agency wants feedback calling bundled with other outbound work. The global delivery footprint is the main draw. With teams across four regions, ExpertCallers can staff campaigns around the clock and scale agent counts up or down as your survey volume changes, something a single-location call center can't always do. Its two decades in the business also mean mature quality-assurance and reporting practices. For an insurance agency with a large policyholder base and a recurring feedback program, that scalability is worth considering. On the flip side, the breadth of services means surveys and feedback calls are one offering among many, and you'll want to confirm during scoping exactly how they'd structure a feedback campaign for your book of business. Pricing starts at $1,000+ per project according to The Manifest, which is accessible, but per-minute or per-agent rates aren't published. And offshore delivery, while cost-effective, may matter to agencies that prefer onshore voices for policyholder-facing calls.

Pros

  • Global delivery footprint enables 24-hour campaign coverage
  • Accessible $1,000+ project entry point
  • Long operating history with mature QA practices
  • Strong review scores across timeliness and service excellence

Cons

  • Surveys are one service among many, not a specialty
  • Offshore delivery may not suit every policyholder-facing use case
  • Detailed per-minute pricing not published

Best for: Agencies with high call volumes that want scalable, cost-effective outbound survey capacity across time zones.

#5 Contivio — Contact for pricing

Contivio rounds out the list as the option for agencies that want to run feedback surveys inside their own contact center operation rather than outsource the calling. According to their blog on surveying customers from a call center, Contivio supports both phone/IVR-driven surveys and SMS surveys, with responses automatically stored in your CRM, including NetSuite. That CRM integration is the standout: survey answers attach directly to the call record, so your agents and producers can see a policyholder's feedback history alongside their policy data. Their IVR survey approach works two ways. You can include a message in your welcome prompt asking whether the customer wants to participate in a brief survey after the call, at which point Contivio adds them to a campaign that calls back after a set interval (five minutes or 24 hours) and collects keypad responses. Alternatively, an agent can ask the customer to stay on the line after the call and route them to a survey queue. The SMS option can automatically text a survey link upon call completion, and Contivio notes it can trigger conditional follow-up questions when a customer enters a low score, for example prompting extra feedback when someone rates below a 4. The honest limitation: Contivio is a contact center platform, so you're operating the surveys yourself, which means staffing, scripting, and compliance management land on your team. SMS survey features also require working with an SMS gateway provider like SMS Global, per their documentation. For agencies that already run a contact center and want survey capability built in, it's a practical fit.

Pros

  • Survey responses attach directly to CRM call records
  • Multiple survey methods: IVR callback, agent-routed, and SMS
  • Conditional follow-ups catch unhappy customers automatically
  • Keeps feedback collection in-house under your control

Cons

  • You operate the surveys yourself; no managed campaign service
  • SMS surveys require a separate SMS gateway provider
  • Agent-routed surveys depend on agents actually offering them
  • No published pricing

Best for: Insurance agencies that already run a contact center and want survey capability embedded in their existing phone system.

Feedback calls are one of the highest-leverage moves an insurance agency can make in 2026. Renewal decisions, claim experiences, and service complaints all surface in a two-minute phone conversation long before they show up in your churn numbers. The right partner depends on how hands-on you want to be. If you already run a contact center, Contivio embeds surveys into your existing operation. If you want human agents and multi-channel reach, TeleDirect delivers that. For larger budgets, SalesRoads and ExpertCallers bring deep outbound experience. But for most agencies, My AI Call Center is the cleanest path: managed campaigns with one clear goal, calls made only to approved and permissioned lists, TCPA-compliant AI disclosure on every call, and outcome reports with disposition codes that route follow-ups straight into your CRM. Pricing starts at 9 cents per connected minute, the full campaign cost is known before you approve launch, and the first campaign review is free. If you've been meaning to actually hear from your policyholders instead of guessing, plan your first feedback campaign at myaicallcenter.app and see what the calls tell you.

Frequently asked questions

Why are phone surveys better than email surveys for insurance agencies?

Email surveys suffer from low open rates and low completion rates, so you mostly hear from a small, biased slice of your policyholder base. Phone calls command more attention, and customers are often willing to spend a few minutes talking when they wouldn't click a survey link. Calls also capture the "why" behind a rating: an AI or live caller can ask follow-up questions and pick up on sentiment, which a multiple-choice form can't do. Timing matters too. A call placed right after a claim or renewal interaction catches details and emotions while they're still fresh, producing more accurate feedback than a survey sent days later.

Is it legal to run automated survey calls to policyholders?

Yes, but the rules are strict. Under the TCPA, AI-generated voices are treated as artificial voices, which means prior express consent is required before dialing. You also need to honor state-specific quiet hours and day restrictions, disclose when a call is AI-assisted, and honor opt-out and DNC requests immediately. My AI Call Center handles this structurally: consent records are reviewed before any campaign launches, AI disclosure appears on every call, keyword opt-outs like STOP and REVOKE are honored on the spot, and DNC requests carry across all campaigns. Campaign requirements vary by location, industry, and contact type, so clients should obtain appropriate legal guidance before launch.

What does My AI Call Center cost compared to a traditional call center?

My AI Call Center starts at 9 cents per connected minute, tiered by volume, with the rate locked for the duration of the campaign. Most campaigns also include a one-time setup fee and a flat monthly management fee, both quoted before launch. There are no per-seat charges, no platform bill, and no minimums you didn't choose, and the first campaign review is free. Traditional live-agent call centers like TeleDirect don't publish pricing and typically charge more per contact because human agents handle every call. The managed AI model is generally the lower-cost route for structured, goal-specific campaigns.

How do survey call results get back into my agency's workflow?

With My AI Call Center, every campaign ends with a named outcome report containing disposition codes (confirmed, qualified, opted out, no answer), per-call notes, and completion and coverage reports, plus opt-out and DNC logs. Follow-up requests and outcomes route back into the CRM and scheduling tools you already use, so a dissatisfied policyholder flagged on a call lands in front of the right person without manual data entry. Contivio takes a similar in-platform approach, storing survey responses directly against call records in CRMs like NetSuite, but you operate that yourself.

What kind of survey campaigns work best for insurance agencies?

The highest-value surveys tend to cluster around a few moments: post-claim satisfaction calls, renewal-period feedback placed 30 to 60 days before the renewal date, onboarding check-ins at day-7 and day-30 milestones after a new policy, and win-back calls to dormant clients from the past 12 to 24 months. Each works best as a campaign with one clear goal, which is how My AI Call Center scopes every engagement. Trying to bundle satisfaction scoring, upsell discovery, and complaint capture into a single call usually produces muddled data and annoyed policyholders.

Can these services call policyholders in Spanish or other languages?

My AI Call Center offers multi-language outbound campaigns, with Spanish the most common, which matters for agencies serving diverse communities. On the competitor side, 1840 & Company (a related call center provider in the research) lists fluency in 10 languages including Spanish, though it wasn't one of our five ranked picks. TeleDirect's multi-channel approach is language-flexible depending on agent staffing, so confirm language coverage during scoping with any vendor you choose.

How quickly can a feedback campaign launch?

With My AI Call Center, the process runs in six steps: campaign review, list and consent review, connecting your systems, script and escalation approval, launch, and outcome routing. Nothing launches until you approve the script, disclosure, opt-out handling, and escalation path, and the full campaign price is quoted before you commit. The timeline depends largely on how quickly your list and consent documentation clears review; clean, permissioned lists move fast, while lists with unclear consent records get flagged and may be declined before you spend anything.
